  Conventional elevator seismic control operation systems merely display information to elevator passengers, and are still insufficient for quickly responding to a centralized stoppage state of an elevator that may occur in a wide area due to an earthquake. In addition, elevators based only on the operation of the P-wave seismometer will generally return automatically, but the elevator administrator may not immediately know the reason for the stoppage. Therefore, there is a problem that it may be difficult for a maintenance company to handle. In the conventional elevator monitoring system, when an elevator detects an earthquake, it stops the car at the nearest floor and sends an abnormal report due to operation stop to an external monitoring center. After the car is stopped on the nearest floor, it automatically returns to normal operation after a predetermined time. Therefore, there is a problem that it takes time to analyze the reason for the stop because the maintenance worker who has received the report from the monitoring center operates normally without any trouble when rushing to the elevator. In addition, elevator stops due to earthquakes tend to be wide areas, and many maintenance service contractors and building managers are inundated with inquiries to maintenance service providers (maintenance service contractor companies). There was a problem that became difficult.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an earthquake information automatic processing device provided in the monitoring center 8 for automatically processing a P-wave earthquake information signal received by the receiving unit 9. 11 is an in-house information transmission device provided in the monitoring center 8 and is connected to the earthquake information automatic processing device 10. An external information transmission device 12 is also provided in the monitoring center 8 and is connected to the earthquake information automatic processing device 10. Reference numeral 13 denotes a plurality of in-house information receiving devices connected to the in-house information transmitting device 11, for example, each maintenance personnel mobile phone 14 or information equipment such as a telephone, alarm device, display, etc. of each maintenance company branch 15.

Next, the operation will be described.
When an earthquake occurs, first, the P-wave seismometer 4 operates before the S-wave seismometer (not shown) operates. When the P-wave seismometer 4 detects a P-wave earthquake, the earthquake information output unit 5 outputs a P-wave detection signal to the external signal receiving unit 2 of the elevator control device 1 and after a P-wave earthquake is no longer detected, a certain time P-wave earthquake information is output until it has elapsed.

P-wave earthquake information indicating that a P-wave earthquake has been detected before is activated can be communicated. Therefore, the conventional elevator seismic control operation system only displays information to the passengers of the elevator, and it was much insufficient for quickly responding to the centralized stoppage of the elevator that seems to occur in a wide area due to the earthquake. However, elevators based solely on the operation of P-wave seismometers will generally return automatically, but the elevator manager who is each customer may not immediately know the reason for stopping. There have been inquiries from a large number of customer managers, and there has been a risk that it will be difficult for a maintenance company to handle. However, according to the present invention, such problems can be solved.

Because the information that identifies the elevator and information related to P-wave control operation is sent to the elevator maintenance worker, even if there is a report about the abnormal stop of the elevator, This makes it easier to determine whether or not to go to a maintenance service contractor.

  In addition, since the monitoring center 8 transmits information related to the P-wave control operation to the maintenance service consignor of the elevator concerned, the maintenance work consignment source can also understand the reason for stopping the elevator and prevent the inquiries from the maintenance service. it can.

  In addition, the P wave control operation execution signal includes the P wave detection time and the start and return times of the earthquake control operation, and the monitoring center sends them to the maintenance operator and the maintenance service consignor as information on the P wave control operation. Since it is transmitted, the time of each phenomenon can be specified, and understanding and response are facilitated.
